Thanks for the app suggestion. I am downloading it now!

If it is a pill it will dissolve and feel better.

Can you get water through? Maybe that would push it through? And is it actually a pill or just feel that way?

Haha. Thanks! I didn't respond because I didn't know what it was. So I obviously haven't tried it.

One good suggestion someone gave me was bringing a small extension cord for electronics. I found a nice one for $10 at target and it was a huge help. I was worried my hospital wouldn't let me use it but they were fine with it so I had plugs for my phone, tablet and an extra plug for my husband to charge his phone.

I've stalled too. Same weight for over a week. I just stopped weighing like an insane person and am focusing on activity, protein and water. I know it'll catch up eventually.

Just checked my math. I am between 3-4 liters of water a day. 6-8 16 ounce bottles. I can drink one in an hour now. Week one I was lucky to get one in a day. It was tough.

I am four weeks out. I drank 4-6 liters of water a day before sleeve. Now I am up to almost two. The difference in my ability to take in fluids between week two and four is astounding. Also I am back to my one mug of coffee in the morning. I am not a side drinker either so I haven't had that. Haven't had a soda in probably a year at least.

Even though you don't feel like eating and drinking, do you force yourself to? I had to set reminders in my phone and talked to my mom and husband and asked them to ask me if I had my shake or water lately. It helped so much and I noticed a dramatic difference in how I felt week two versus week three. Also walking made me feel great too. I didn't always feel good when I started but by the end I felt great and it helped me get through my days. I hope you start feeling better. Good luck!

I don't know if I have hit a stall yet. I got so worried about the dreaded three week stall and the frustration and anxiety that could come it that I stopped weighing at my three week mark. I will weigh in again this weekend or at my 5 week point. I'm four weeks out today and feeling great. I can notice a difference in my energy level no matter if I get enough sleep or not. I am very happy with my sleeve!

Yay SJ! You're onto foods. That's when I really started feeling better!

I appreciate all this info. I am only 4 weeks post op and was dumb enough to have a drink with my brothers tonight. I'm shocked at how hard it hit me and forget my liver is working overtime. I won't be making this mistake again!

Lol. I, the total opposite. I feel like I have to pee all the time but don't. I got checked for a UTI cuz it's that bad!

I definitely still have cravings but they are so much easier to deal with. I eat a forkful of my chicken and mashed avocado and feel dull and satisfied. I now keep some mashed and ready in the fridge.

The first three weeks I was basically losing a pound a day. After my third week I stopped weighing as often (that was just Thursday). On my 3 weeks I was down 23 pounds.

Isn't it amazing to look back on the last month? 3 weeks ago I thought I was gonna die. Now I'm running around in smaller clothes feeling great!

Hooray! Yay LeighAnne! Those game will be fabulous in no time!

I had an exciting morning. I am wearing shorts I haven't been able to wear for a year and a t-shirt I haven't worn since 4th of July 2012! Ahh. And I feel SOOO cute. Haha. Just had to share.

A stall in the first 3-4 weeks is completely normal. I know that doesn't help you feel better about it. I am also tired of the monotony. But I know it will get better. I hope you try to look to the future when you're feeling better and eating a more normal diet. We will get there one day.

I don't think any doc or nut would be upset with you trying to get your protein in

And yes. If you're eating you can still drink shake in between. At least that's what I have understood. I do not meet my protein goals without shakes yet. Not sure how I totally missed/didn't read that last sentence.

Has mom had surgery? Lol. In my first few weeks post op I was lucky to get one shake in during the day. Sip sip sip and get as much in as you can. And don't forget water too!
